Orpheus and Eurydice

Description

Opera. Baroque. Electro. Love. Death. Cacti. Orpheus mourns the death of his beloved Eurydice and decides to rescue her from the underworld. Although he overcomes demons with his singing, the gods impose one condition on him. Orpheus and Eurydice by Divadlo nacucky! is an original, performative adaptation of the classic myth that deviates from traditional operatic form: it creates an intimate stage work between musical theater, performance, and experimental staging. The story becomes a reflection on themes of death and the concept of hell not as a mythological place, but as a personal, human experience of pain, loss, guilt, or separation. Jan Frič Theater director and educator, active in drama and experimental theater, studied at DAMU in Prague, where he currently participates in teaching. He has directed over 70 productions on various stages, including the National Theater, Divadlo Na zábradlí, and HaDivadlo. He is known for his distinctive stylization, emphasis on atmosphere, music, and visual metaphors. He has received the Theater Critics' Award multiple times for his productions. He is one of the prominent creators of the contemporary Czech directing scene.
